5.00Eva is incredible. Her knowledge of the city and the food is amazing. Her friendliness is so sincere and she truly makes you feel as though you are just catching up with a friend in an amazing city. The food was incredible and the value was outstanding.
Amazing experience with Eva

5.00An amazing food tour with Eva. So much food! Eva was so knowledgeable and welcoming. We ate so much, it was hard to fit the loukamades in at the end. Not just food, we also got to experience some hidden areas in Plaka. I would recommend to anyone, particularly on their first night in Athens.
Look no further, book this tour!

5.00Can I give Eva 10 stars?? She was AMAZING. Funny, charismatic, knowledgeable, she kept my 12 and 14 year olds in stitches. She walked us through some beautiful quiet spots in Athens that I never would have seen before and we ate ourselves silly! She knows every shopkeeper so we waited for nothing. I told her I’d like to bring home some olive oil so she made sure to stop at her favorite olive oil (and honey!!) place. By the end of the night she was disco dancing with my son and even my sometimes prickly 14 year old daughter gave her a hug goodbye. This will definitely be one of the highlights of our trip.
Discovering the Real Athens – An Unforgettable Food Tour with Eva

5.00What an incredible experience! As a couple visiting Athens, we wanted to see more than the typical tourist spots, and Eva delivered exactly that. She took us to places we would never have found on our own, truly off the beaten track and full of local character. The food was outstanding, from delicious sheep's yogurt to the most amazing spinach tart, along with many other authentic Greek specialties. Every stop had its own story, and Eva's knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more special. What really stood out was Eva's passion for what she does. She clearly loves sharing Athens, its culture, and its food, and that passion shines through in every part of the tour. It felt less like a guided tour and more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend. If you want to discover the real Athens and enjoy wonderful food along the way, we cannot recommend this tour highly enough. A truly memorable experience

5.00We’ve taken food tours in cities around the world, and this was by far the best one we’ve ever experienced. Eva was an absolute delight—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing Greek culture and cuisine. We loved exploring a variety of neighborhoods, each with its own unique character, while sampling an incredible array of delicious local foods. This tour was the perfect introduction to Greece and gave us a much deeper appreciation for Athens and its culinary traditions. Don’t miss this tour! I give it my highest recommendation!

5.00Eva showed many sites off the beaten path that we would not have seen otherwise. We tasted at small eateries and the food was delicious. We walked through the market and were amazed at the beautiful fresh foods. It is a lot of walking so be prepared.

5.00We had a wonderful tour. We walked through the lesser traveled streets and saw what normal tourists on their own would not see. We sampled many foods and went through the markets. Lunch was excellent. Highly recommend.

Best Food Tour Ever

5.00Eva was absolutely wonderful...she made us feel welcome & at home right away. She was enthusiastic, quick, clever, and fun! The Greek foods she introduced us to were delicious, starting with lukumades (donut holes with honey & cinnamon), then the best-ever spanakopita I have ever had. We visited a shop with amazing honey, and another with special bread sticks. The main meal was at a family-owned restaurant in Psyrri, where we had tastings of multiple delicacies (we were stuffed!). We discovered a love for fava beans (yellow peas), and also the calamari was exceptionally good. We walked through a farmers' market and also an indoor meat market--both fascinating to see. Dessert was yogurt with fruit (I chose bergamot, which is similar to lemon), and we became hooked on this amazing dessert...we had it several more times on our trip! There's nothing like real Greek ingredients, and Eva was exceptional at knowing where to find the best delights!!!
Great experience with Eva!
